The creation of the material world is effected, it is maintained and then again it is annihilated at certain intervals. So there are different names of the creations in terms of particular type of Brahma the father of the living beings in the creation. These kumaras as above mentioned appeared in the koumara creation of the material world and to teach us the process of Brahman realisation, they underwent a severe type of disciplinary action as bachelors. These kumaras are empowered incarnations. And before executing the severe type of disciplinary actions all of them became qualified Brahmins. This example suggests that one must acquire first the qualifications of the Brahmin not simply by birth but also in quality and then one may undergo the process of Brahma realisation.

The Kumāras, as above mentioned, appeared in the Kaumāra creation of the material world, and to teach us the process of Brahman realization, they underwent a severe type of disciplinary action as bachelors. These Kumāras are empowered incarnations. And before executing the severe type of disciplinary actions, all of them became qualified #i#brāhmaṇas#/i#.
